Moist wildflower garden. As it is tall and thin, it's best planted as a group toward the rear of other plants.

Moist wildflower garden, wetland garden.

Grown less frequently than H. diptera but worthy of planting. Grow as an understory tree in a mixed or deciduous woodland. It blooms in early spring as the leaves appear and is more dainty than H. diptera. Does well when planted in association with Ericacious plants such as azaleas.

The range of this plant barely makes it into Florida and only 2 locations have been documented.  It is not rare in states to the north. Garden flower for wet sites. Blooms in late summer-early fall.
